Some Tennessee reactions to today's Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision giving closely held companies the right to refuse to provide contraceptive coverage:

"My mind is sort of blown. It's so unbelievable to think that there are bosses out there who are able to interfere with their employees' access to birth control."

— Jeff Teague, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee

"This is as close as it gets to a Southern Baptist dancing for joy.... The court reaffirmed a fundamental guarantee for religious liberty for all people."

— Russell D. Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.

"No individual or organization should ever be forced to choose between violating their own personal religious beliefs and fulfilling a government mandate. I applaud today's Supreme Court ruling, which reaffirms our constitutionally protected religious freedoms."

— U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais

"Today the Supreme Court sided with our constitutional rights and stood up to the Obama administration's assault on religious liberty."

— U.S. Rep. Diane Black

"In today's Hobby Lobby decision, the United States Supreme Court once again expanded the rights of for-profit corporations at the expense of real, live human beings.... We face similar fights in Tennessee. There is an unprecedented assault against the independence of the judiciary, and a proposed amendment would roll back constitutional protections for women."
